Today's chit chat was all about growing up! Aunti Vi reminded the girls not to grow up too fast. The Big Sisters talked about adolescence, the teenage years. Changes in the body, and the way way you feel and think will cause a great deal of questions. These years relate to parenting by the way we start to separate from our parents, and we start to become more independent. As we get older, we need to address our parents respectfully by articulating, and verbalizing our thoughts and feelings.
As children, our parents shield us from things we can't understand, not until we are older. We can't un-see what we saw, or un-hear what we heard. Our parents are here to protect us. If we have bad dreams or bad thoughts, our parents are here to listen to what we have to say, "talk it out of you."
It's important to have a good relationship with our parents as children, so that we can grow and have great relationships with them as adults.
